New guy in TX

Hello, I joined here so I could read the threads and try to judge parts availability. I come from an Olds family, we had one somewhere all the way through the Alero.
Nothing in the barn yet but looking for a cheap ride we can turn a wrench on and cruise in. I’ve been looking at the 73-77 A bodies among others.

The 73-77s are good, nice riding cars(while not exactly the fastest), if you can find a complete one..parts are getting harder to come by. There is a small but dedicated group here, along with all the Oldsmobile experts, all willing to help..

a couple older pics of my 74..

Thanks for the welcomes!
I’m looking for a bench seat, column shift cruiser, A or B body. 2,4 door or wagon. The highway floater with a big darn V8 to hit the backroads and cruises. I love the ugly ducklings at car shows. We’ve had fast cars (shoulda never sold that 02 Z28) and a Yukon for people and toy haulin but the new stuff is just...different.
